Country and Beauty

C587 Life-Death Struggle (Part II)

General Shi let the troops rest for three days to replenish their energy. Three days had just passed, and he had already gathered his troops to prepare to attack the city. During these three days, although Shi Hu's troops were resting, Murong Ke's army was not idle, they busied themselves day and night to increase the slope, but at the same time, Qin Army was also increasing the height of the city wall. Both parties had been working non-stop, day and night, and the difference in height between the slope and the city wall was still more than ten meters.

Seeing that he could not directly ride on the State Protector City even with the increase of the slope, Shi Hu ordered his troops to attack the city directly!

The area of the north wall of State Protector City was not too big, at most, he could launch more than three thousand people to attack at a time. Shi Hu did not hesitate, he immediately ordered the three thousand-man squads to form the first wave of attacks, and then gathered the nine echelons. Even if the first wave of attacks was not smooth, the other nine waves still had a chance!

Shi Hu said: Attack the State Protector City, kill Qin Manzi!

It had to be said that Shi Hu's slogan was very effective.

"Kill!" The three thousand man army from Capricorn gave up on their horses and carried the hundred over primal cloud ladders, rushing down from the top of the hill. Although Murong Ke's height at the bottom of the slope was almost 10 meters away from the city wall, they still belonged to the upper class. Relying on the momentum of the impact, Zhao Jun's siege troops advanced at an extremely fast speed. Very quickly, Zhao Jun's siege troops entered the range of the Qin Army's crossbows, the leader of the underlings roared, and the siege troops rushed forward crazily!

At the same time, Beigong Chun, who was standing at the top of the city wall, ordered: "Prepare for third shot, fire!"

However, because the attacking army Zhao Jun was almost completely equipped with the steel armour of the Qin Army, their ability to defend against arrows had increased greatly. Although the rain of crossbow arrows was dense, the results of the battle was pitiful, other than a few unlucky Zhao Jun soldiers who had been shot in the face without any cover and collapsed on the ground screaming, the rest of the Zhao Jun soldiers did not even bother to look at the soldiers who were hit by the arrows, and immediately followed up to catch up. There were also even more unfortunate soldiers of Zhao Jun. They were not shot by Qin Army, but because their running speed was too fast, they fell on the ground and were kicked around by their comrades behind them.

But the rain of arrows from the Qin Army was unable to stop Zhao Jun's attack. Beigong Chun knew that in order for the Qin Army Crossbow to pierce through the armor, it would have to hit the gap in the armor. Furthermore, the probability of hitting the gap in the armor was too low, it was far from the requirement to stop the enemy from attacking! Beigong Chun saw that Zhao Jun was still crazily attacking. He ordered, "Put away the crossbow and prepare for a melee! Ranged stone, roll your logs and prepare! "

Shi Hu also ordered, "Follow the second wave of attack and enter within two hundred steps of the city wall. Use the crossbow to suppress the Qin Army on the city wall!"

Very quickly, Zhao Jun's siege army's first cloud ladder was built on the city wall, while the Qin Army used her hook to push the ladder towards them! But at this time, one escalator after another was quickly built on the city wall, as more and more Zhao Jun's siege troops climbed up the ladder to the city wall!

Although in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Huns had bullied the Western Han Dynasty for almost a hundred years, but although the Huns were powerful in combat and had won every battle, the Western Han Dynasty had never lost a city of the middle or higher rank. Even if the Mongol Cavalry that swept the world were to return fire, they would still be stopped at the gates of Xiangyang City for six years. If it weren't for the hearts of the soldiers in the front lines of the southern Song Dynasty, it would still be impossible for Xiangyang to break through them! At this time, at the same time as the Qin Army soldiers threw the slabs of rocks and rolled wood, they also threw down another vicious weapon that was suited to local conditions — — Water! This kind of water that was boiled by iron pots wasn't too powerful at its level, but when the temperature was close to -30 degrees Celsius, Zhao Jun's soldiers that were drenched in water didn't feel anything at first. After the water was poured on them, it wasn't too hot, and no one was injured.

With thick ice armor, all of these Zhao Jun soldiers were frozen to death below the city walls!

Although the first wave of attack from Zhao Jun's soldiers was very tenacious, the Qin soldiers had used a defensive weapon, causing the stone slabs and ladders to fall like rain. After nearly two hours, over a hundred Zhao Jun Cloud Stairs had been completely destroyed, and Zhao Jun's siege troops who had lost their support were being surrounded and annihilated by the Qin Army s on the city walls!

The first attacking unit, the three thousand man team, suffered nearly half of the casualties in two hours, while the Qin Army's losses were slightly lower.

Shi Hu originally did not have much hope for the first wave of attacks from the army. Shi Hu's face was expressionless as she waved her hand indifferently: First attack team, retreat! Second attack team, continue to charge forward!

At this time, Shi Hu suddenly saw Beigong Chun on the city wall. Beigong Chun had fought with Shi Hu multiple times, and most of them were injuries on Shi Hu's body, so when she met her old opponent on the battlefield, Shi Hu's face changed greatly: Quickly inform the guards to guard on both wings, in case Qin Army tries to ambush us from the rear!

However, Wang Yang said: "General, there is no need to worry, there are no city gates to the north city of State Protector City, even if Beigong Chun wants to attack from the south gate, the terrain around the Falling Mountain is not suitable for the army to open up. Even if Beigong Chun wants to attack from the south gate, he would have to travel around fifty kilometers, which is enough time for our army to prepare.

Shi Hu then laughed: That's right, there isn't a single good thing in Xianbei member. Xi Nian and the others have already formed a blood feud with us, our allies are all sold out anyway, no matter how many Xianbei member dies, I won't pity them! Anyway, Xianbei member's greatest value is that which consumes Qin Army's weapons! "

Wang Yang is an old soldier, and the city guards do have a plan. We should not let the warriors in our clan bleed too much, and if one of our young and strong warrior died in battle, the strength of our State of Zhao would be weakened, and if we were weakened, Murong Ke would not turn the tables and take over the lair! "Wang Yang said.

Shi Hu said: "That's right, that's the theory! The King did not plan to sacrifice so many warriors in his strategy! "

The soldiers under his command were obviously new troops, their mental fortitude wasn't strong, upon seeing Zhao Jun's attack, the soldiers immediately threw down the stone slabs in their hands. After half a day, Beigong Chun had no choice but to give orders to reduce the number of stone slabs he was throwing, because in just half a day, almost five feet of stones were piled up under the city walls. In this way, it would instead benefit Zhao Jun. When Zhao Jun's soldiers were under the city walls, they would be able to throw their Heaven Bombing grenade back to the city, causing great casualties for the Qin Army.

On the contrary, the soldiers of the new army were much too sensitive. All sorts of defensive materials were consumed at a tremendous rate! What was even more terrifying was that the morale was extremely low!

The sun had finally set behind the mountains. The Northern Kingdom's winter days were short, so when Shi Hu saw that there was no hope of breaking through the city, he decided to call for reinforcements.

Shi Hu returned to the tent and built a fire to protect herself from the cold and discussed her plan to attack the city the next day. After finishing all these matters, Shi Hu naturally received special treatment from Murong Ke. In order to curry favor with Shi Hu, Murong Ke gifted the few female slaves she brought from Gao Li to Shi Hu!

Just like Shi Hu's day and night attacks, Beigong Chun directed the battle during the day and night. At night, not only did Beigong Chun want to boost the National Guard's morale, he also wanted to comfort the wounded and console the fallen soldiers. He also had to inspect the damage to the city wall and was extremely busy. It was almost midnight when Beigong Chun arrived at the north city wall. He said to the general guarding the city: "Right now, the Xianbei member on the other side is still increasing the slope, and we have to increase the height. Not only that, more charcoal and more water are needed to heat the wall, the effect of water is actually greater than that of rolling wood. From tomorrow onwards, rolling wood is only used to ignite fires, and no one is allowed to throw it outside the city! "

Just then, a high-ranking officer said: "Great General, today we discovered that our crossbow bolts are not very effective against the enemy, only using Heaven Bombing grenade is the best, but we don't have many of them with us, what do we do?"

Beigong Chun thought for a while and said, "You go arrange some men to gather the fireoil that is currently used for illumination. Even on the city walls, we need to minimize the amount of oil used for illumination. There is not much firewood in the city so let the troops leave the city to go to the south gate to cut down the firewood. But you must make adequate preparations to guard against the enemy's sneak attack! "

"Great General's brilliant plan!"

"We'll do it that way!" Beigong Chun continued to speak: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and there are still far too few materials needed to protect themselves from the cold, hurry up and send someone to the country to ask for reinforcements. Furthermore, our crossbow arrows are too weak for Zhao Jun, it would be best if we could get more cannons and bed crossbow s! "

"The general's words are true. As long as our reinforcements arrive, the shortage of resources will be solved."

Beigong Chun walked to a young soldier and patted his shoulder: "The battle today is so intense, are you afraid?"

"No!" The soldier firmly shook his head and said, "Soldiers, go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. We will die with no regrets!"

Beigong Chun said: "Well said! We, the soldiers of the Great Qin, have a mission to protect the citizens and protect our land. If we, the soldiers, do not serve the battlefield, how can we let the citizens resist the enemies of the wolves and tigers, how can we let them be slaughtered by others? Our bloodshed was done so that our parents, wives, and children would not be humiliated or oppressed! "

Beigong Chun's voice became louder and louder, "Only by doing so can we face our Great Qin's Emperor! Only then will we be able to live up to our parents in the collar! "

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Great Qin! " Thunder roared from the top of the city wall.

After Beigong Chun heard the roars, he finally had a familiar smell! Beigong Chun laughed, "This is finally worth it!"

To the west of the North Sea, on the banks of the Gilega River, was a small hill. The hills were like hills, reaching over two hundred zhang in height, while the lone mountain covered an area of over a hundred acres. At the foot of this unknown hill, a group of people were advancing forward through a snowstorm. Li Yi was helpless, although he tried his best to heal those casualties, trying to slow down his pace! However, of the seven hundred or so seriously injured people, more than two hundred still died.

The morale of the entire death squad wasn't high either. Right then, the elite soldier from the death squad suddenly reported, "General! There is a tribe ahead of us. The number of people is not detailed, and there are about two hundred tents! "

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Send out scouts and check if there are any other tribes nearby. At the same time, go and check just how strong this tribe is, and how old or weak they are!"

The scout quickly figured out the situation. This was a tribe of the gentle people, with the entire population mainly made up of the gentle people. However, when Shi Le arrived, he immediately swallowed these strong and young people! The nomadic peoples on the prairie were not like the farmers, they liked to depend on strong warriors, so as long as their men were killed by the other party, they would not resist. Furthermore, the women would bear the responsibility of taking care of the family and taking care of the children for their new men. Their children were also the same. There was no hatred in the Han people's hearts for the murder of their father or for stealing their wife. Their child's loyalty was to the strong, to the people who raised them. Although they had the blood of the gentle and graceful people, at this moment, their loyalty was to the Capricorn tribe! This was the law of survival for the grasslands! The tribes on the prairie were very far apart from each other in order to satisfy the needs of grazing. Northern seas were not rich enough in grass, so tribes were even further apart. This was an independent tribe, and there were no tribes within fifty kilometers.

Li Yi did not care about anything else, after scouting out that there were no enemies in the surroundings, he picked up this small tribe and started practicing! Li Yi said: "If we were to go from the south to the north, it is very likely that they would be alerted, and if they were to go to the north, we cannot eliminate the fish that escaped the net, so we have to make a big circle from the north to the south. Even if they were to run, they will only go south. Now that we are alone, exposure means death. Therefore, all of you must be ruthless and not show mercy. A woman's kindness will only harm others! "

"Got it!" The thundering sound of horses' hooves could be heard throughout the land. At night, the sound of horses' hooves could even shake a distance of 10 miles! The tribesmen were awakened, but it was too late for them to react.

All of a sudden, shouts of battle rang out in the silent and dark Riverside Tribe. The cries of women and children, the barking of dogs and oxen, the clashing of swords, swords, halberds, and curses mixed together, turning the silent riverside prairie into a pot of porridge.

When the first ray of sunlight shone onto the land, the tribe had already quieted down. There were a few corpses lying on the ground, and fresh blood flowed all over. It had frozen into red ice, and the entire tribe was in the midst of restoring calm.

The members of the National Guard Death Team occupied the best yurt of the Riverside Tribe, eating the best food to replenish their strength, and as soon as they felt spirited, they happily threw themselves into the division and collection of property and women.

Of course, they were not overjoyed because of this. The sentries that should have been there were all dispatched with a distance of fifty li.

Li Yi comfortably lied in the best tent of the Riverside Tribe. Below him, there was a beautiful woman who was completely naked and dressed in enchanting clothes! This General Chen Shimei, who was tricked by Xie Fei until the end, still refused to give up even if he had evil intentions. Our General Li is not any weaker than he was in the past.

After a night of conquest, not only did Li Yi not show any signs of weakness, his words had become more spirited. After being satisfied, Li Yi said to the soldiers around him: "We are righteous teachers, we only rob property and not lives! "Take away everything that you can't take away, and slaughter everything that you can't take away, especially the females. Do not leave a single cow, mare, or ewe alive!"
